| New-rider code | tz4dcya9ssfp: 50% off first 5 trips, up to £5 each |
| Link | https://honestcodes.co.uk/go/uber |
| Uber One price | £4.99 a month or £49.99 a year |

## The break-even, worked out

Uber One's ride benefit is a percentage of what you spend, so the question is simply how much you ride. At 5% back, the £4.99 monthly fee is covered by £99.80 of UberX, Comfort or Electric trips a month. At 10% on Exec and Lux, £49.90 does it. The annual plan works out at about £4.17 a month, so its break-even falls to roughly £83 a month at 5%.

Anyone who also orders Uber Eats gets there faster, because the £0 delivery fee on eligible orders adds to the ride credits.

| | Monthly ride spend | Uber One credits (5%) | Credits on Exec/Lux (10%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| £50 | £2.50 | £5.00 |
| £100 | £5.00 | £10.00 |
| £200 | £10.00 | £20.00 |

## Start with the new-rider code

For someone who has never taken an Uber, the referral code is worth far more per trip than any membership. Code tz4dcya9ssfp, or the link https://honestcodes.co.uk/go/uber, gives 50% off each of the first 5 trips, up to £5 a trip. On a £20 fare that is £5 off, against £1 of Uber One credit at 5%.

Add the code under Account, Wallet, Add promo code before your first trip; Uber's help centre says promotions cannot be added once a trip is requested.

| | Code tz4dcya9ssfp | Uber One (5%) |
|---|---|---|
| £10 trip | £5 off | £0.50 credit |
| £20 trip | £5 off | £1.00 credit |
| Five £20 trips | £25 off | £5.00 credit |

_Code: 50% off each of the first 5 trips, up to £5 a trip, new riders only (Uber's referral page and in-app invite, 3 October 2026)._

## What else Uber One includes

Beyond rides, Uber's UK page lists 10% back in Uber credits on train, coach and Eurostar tickets and flights booked in the Uber app (train offer to 31 December 2026), 10% back on car hire and on Lime e-bikes and scooters booked through Uber, and extra savings on eligible Uber Eats orders, such as discounted fees, promos and credits. Abroad, members keep earning credits on rides and the £0 delivery fee where those benefits exist.

## The verdict

Uber One suits regular riders spending £100 or more a month, Exec and Lux riders from about £50, and households that order Uber Eats every week. Everyone new to Uber should take the 50% off five trips with tz4dcya9ssfp first. Every figure here was read on Uber's own UK pages on 3 October 2026.
